Case Study 1
Cadet A lived in the Trailers during the overflow period. Around 2430 during
general leave Cadet A received a phone call from her boyfriend. He said that
he needed to speak with her right away in private and that he was outside
the Barracks. Cadet A decided to bring him into her room. As they were
talking Cadet A learned that her boyfriends’ parents had just died a few
hours ago. Cadet A began consoling him as someone knocked on the door
and said “All Clear”. Cadet A hurried to the door and met the cadet, who was
the division inspector, doing All-ins. The Division Inspector asked the cadet
if there was anyone else in the room, because he had heard two voices.
Cadet A responded that She was the only one in the room and shut the door.
Cadet A then continued to console her boyfriend and then let him head home
when she thought he was capable. Cadet A then went to confront the
division inspector, told him what happened and that she didn’t want to tell
him someone was in the room because of her boyfriends situation.
Did Cadet A commit an Honor Violation?

Case Study 1 Review
Did Cadet A commit an Honor Violation?
Yes, Cadet A lied to the Division Inspector doing Allins when she was asked if there was someone
else in the room and she responded that there was
not.
Did Cadet A have other options besides lying?
Yes, Cadet A was in a difficult situation but there
were a lot of choices Cadet A could’ve made
besides sacrificing her honor. What would you
have done?Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders

Case Study 2
Cadet D was a sophomore on Spring Furlough. He
visited a Bar with a couple of friends who were
all over the age of 21 years of age. Not wanting
to feel left out, Cadet D used the Fake ID he had
to get into the bar. Cadet D figured that because
he was on Furlough the Honor Code did not
apply to his actions.
Did Cadet D commit an Honor Violation?
Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders
Prepared by the 2006 Honor Committee
As of 31 October 2005
Case Study Review
Yes, Cadet D committed the Honor Violation
of Lying. Using a Fake ID is an Honor
Violation because its use obtains the user
benefits that would not be ordinarily
obtained without the use of the ID. Cadet D’s
assumption that it would not be an Honor
Violation because he was on Spring
Furlough was incorrect. All cadets are
subject to the Honor Code at all periods
during the school year.
